Clashes between my words leave people critically injured French Police and lamed weingarten gains for the violence which the countrys interior minister says is on president a french port city is a magnet for people who are trying to reach britain on legally. Saving the children of his long Exchange Fighters will follow one man hoping to retrieve his grandson from a rock in prison and save him from a childhood behind bars plus. Our legal system. There is a courtroom drama at a sentencing hearing for a describe to us and dr larry nasser the father of three of his victims was tackled as you just saw after he launched at the former gymnastics doctor. Im sarah harman welcome to the show its good to have you with us. In the United States a controversial memo critical of the f. B. I. And the Justice Department has just been released a speaking at a white house event u. S. President donald trump confirmed that the document had been declassified it alleges that the f. B. I. Used to bad evidence for a warrant to spy on my own a member of the Trump Campaign during the twenty six thousand election a memo was created by republicans in the house of representatives it was based on classified information the u. S. Justice department and the head of the f. B. I. Had lobbied unsuccessfully beautiful and its really. All trump has been speaking about the memo and its contents take a listen i think its terrible you want to know the truth i think its a disgrace whats going on in this country i think its a disgrace the memo was sent to congress it was declassified congress will do whatever theyre going to do but i think its a disgrace whats happening in our country and when you look at that and you see that and so many other things whats going on. A lot of people should be ashamed of themselves and much worse than they. Are oh for more on this im joined now by ron hostile in our washington studio hes a former assistant director of the f. B. I. Had a thirty year career with the bureau and retired in two thousand and fourteen mr haas co thanks for being with us earlier james conway the former f. B. I. Director called this memo dishonest and misleading is it. Well look were talking about a three eighty three and a half page memo that presumes to describe deficiencies in pfizer a process that probably has much more below the surface than what were seeing in these three pages my understanding is the f. B. I. Was looking at for mcalary intelligence perspective quarter page for several years for his intersections and relationships with russians that perhaps at some point he was warned about those caution about that those relationships and persisted and my supposition would be that the f. B. I. Knew much much more and included it in the pfizer request and the renewals that is depicted by this three page memo and so youre saying theres more going on here than meets the eye based on this memo is it a bombshell that the f. B. I. Acted improperly are you convinced. Well i think theres much more going on here in fact when the f. B. I. Goes before a phase a judge to renu its over here or its over his its review authority. They have to make the case that they got something substantial in the previous period the previous ninety day period thats all omitted from this three page summary we already have the democrats who are surprisingly in support of the f. B. I. Usually its the other way around we already have reports from the democrats that this is cherry picked information that its false and its inaccurate so id be interested to see what the democrats have to say the difficult part here is for the f. B. I. Were talking about classified information in a classified process so i dont think were going to see the f. B. I. Come out and rebut the these allegations point by point the proper venue for this in my mind is in a closed session of the House Oversight committee close or the House Intelligence Committee or perhaps more. A politically to the department of justice Inspector General so you think there are better avenues for this why is it then being trotted out to ask the media whats going on here. Politics american style is going on we are in a hyper politicized environment we have a president who desperately wants bob bowlers investigation to be discontinued we have an ongoing series of i think threats and finger pointing from the white house toward the attorney general toward Rod Rosenstein toward the f. B. I. Toward anything that would be real the moeller investigation you know my question would be why. What what is muller likely to find what is he perhaps already found and i think this is politics american style. Everyone wants to know what miller is going to find what he has already found but you actually know moller he appointed you to your position youve worked together for many years do you have faith in his ability to carry out a nonpartisan investigation into trumps times to russia. You know i do in my experience with the f. B. I. In those thirty years particularly at the highest reaches of the f. B. I. As of assistant director we were not driven by politics we were driven by the facts in the wall i was never asked my Party Affiliation who i voted for an election i never would ask that of somebody that was looking to be promoted in my in the criminal Investigative Division never came up in discussions about cases. And i never had that experience with bob mueller period i think hes probably a republican ive been told Christopher Ray is that rosa stein is but i dont know that the f. B. I. His work is about the facts in the law and politics should never have a role in it i suspect strongly that bob muller certainly appreciates that and is driving his investigation forward in a political manner knowing that that evidence that he finds if you bring charges will be exposed to the light of day in a court sitting over here in europe and certainly looks very strange to see the president at odds with his own intelligence organizations youve got three decades of experience in the f. B. I. Have you ever seen anything like this. Id never have its it is really very disappointing we said some of that before he was president when he was the president elect and my belief was that once he takes that office they become his intelligence organisations. And that he would start to join forces with the police still see him chipping away at the suppositions at the findings at the process of the intelligence agencies it is very very disconcerting im sure its disconcerting to that work for certainly the f. B. I. Now but those are dedicated professionals they are patriots they will put their head down and go do their job the best they can day in day out that part gives me faith and confidence all right thats ron hostile hes a former assistant director at the f. B. I. He had a thirty eight year career with the bureau thanks for being with us today. My pleasure. Lets take a look now at some of the other stories that are making news around the world flooding along a river in northwestern argentina has caused some ten thousand local residents to flee their homes the pinnacle my over started flooding on thursday after someone usually heavy rain officials said the river rose sixty meters over night and expected to continue rising in the coming days president s have been taken to nearby shelters. The United Nations says around ninety people are believed to have drowned off the coast of libya after the boat they were in capsized three survivors said most of those on board were pakistani more than two hundred fifty people have died in the last month alone just trying to get across the mediterranean most of them headed for italy. Few Police Reinforcements have arrived in the french port city of col a thats after fierce clashes broke out on thursday night between migrants more than twenty people were injured and at least four of them are in Critical Condition suffering from gunshot wounds serves as a gateway to britain many migrants camped out there in hopes of stowing away in trucks bound for england. Desperate migrants pitted against each other. In this case africans mainly from eritrea versus afghans the most serious fighting broke out at a Food Distribution center shots were fired but its unclear by whom one man told the w. There are tensions over access to people smugglers who arrange passage through the channel tunnel to england that appears to be fuelling group rivalries need to grow as a. Place if you see black people he said go back the area but this is an inference we dont get sick easier. To be stopped but after the brawl police sent reinforcements and frances interior minister was on the scene as well he said smugglers were growing more sophisticated despite Police Efforts to get rid of them. There may have been some unpremeditated events in the past but now we see that there are gang leaders who gather others around them says these are the networks we need to dismantle it. But most people hoping for a ride across the channel are in a kind of limbo waiting for a break that never comes exposed to all kinds of weather and conflict. Headed head you know. Then will come to him in his really desperate situation for the microphones here in the city of kelly a jury in the night they try to hop on through a truck to the u. K. During daytime they try to find some rest find some shelter and find some food and the concern here really is that theyre either found by police and have to move once again or theyre even afraid now that the aid agencies that come and provide them with food in the future are no longer allowed to come and meet them so really fear of the police but also now since the latest clashes the fear of violence from other micros there is a fight for the best places to get on two of the these trucks that has started in the city of now the decision by the government not to provide any official shelter has created illegal small camping sites the picture angle of kelly has been replaced by small jungles all over the Industrial Complex of kelly. Wallace care that theres a generation of children who are growing up under the rule of Islamic State she hardass some of them were born in Islamic State territory and others were taken there by parents joined i asked as fighters but what happens to these children when the jihadist lose that territory weve been following and german man who is trying to rescue his grandson. It is a journey into the unknown the man who has asked us to call them to bring him is a routine iraq he wants to bring back his grandson who was born and i guess territory and is now held in prison together with his parents. Well said to have a chasuble children arent responsible for what their parents do definitely not the children suffer months or years in prison this is unnecessary on the side. In abbeville he had straight to the german consulate. The plot according to the Iraqi Government i will be able to stay here for a week and spend time with a child every day so he can get used to me. By this kid out of the city. In the past weeks germanys government has been making efforts to bring back children of german i. A. S. Reporters for humanitarian reasons iraqi officials support this move there are dozens of cases some even involving older children the question is could they pose a threat in the eyes of the Islamic State they were future fighters Security Officials have issued warnings. And of the fastest user can struggle now there is a risk that these children come back brainwashed that they are ordered to carry out attacks so we have to consider that these children could be ticking time bombs off eunices but it can on them david its monday and come to the kid doesnt cut it at least children arent perpetrate as they have victims in the first place they comes at the circumstances and of their parents who brought them into a war zone and exposed them to indoctrination outsold also doesnt stop. Parents such as those incarcerated in iraqi prisons reporters from german broadcasters and the avidity and the daily newspapers the dutch its title were able to meet with three german women and their nine small children one lady agreed to an interview. On the do you look at i s critically by now. Thats almost you dont want to comment on that instead of talking about the terrorist groups atrocities she prefers to discuss her children who she wants to go to germany we have altered her appearance in the stronger. One that six zero there on hundred and six women and children living together in a room that is roughly one hundred square metres theres only one toilet and not a square meter is empty. There are much as is everywhere and most children a sick i mean they play with awful cats they collect bottle caps and use them to pay with cash. Back to either him he is the first Family Member who with the help of the German Government is able to bring a child of i. A. S. Members back to germany on the condition of a d. N. A. Test he saw the taller in prison twice before taking charge of him the childs mother agreed to or sons departure he is fourteen months old now and apart from stories he didnt know his grandpa at all now he has received his german passport and is allowed to board the plane it remains to be seen how his past will affect him in the future all he knows is war and prison. He will be examined by doctors in germany i think with love and compassion you can succeed in anything but. The grandfather has brought in friends and family to help his grandson settle in and turn a victim of violence terror into a survivor. Im joined now by amir masel hes one of the journalists who promised that story amir you actually were contacted by the grandfather hoping to rescue this young boy tell us how this came about well the First Contact with the grandfather of its fall about six months before he just want to take away his son from the crossfire around mosul or to offer to say i do not have any idea how can i help you but the end of the day. They surround themselves the family the whole family with the chill of the child and discuss with me with him going on he wants to save that child and its along with iraq of thirtys with the German Authorities and also with his mother because shes so decide to give his son away back to germany it was her free choice to give her child to the grandfather the first choice the first decision she should make it because without her lowers his will lots going on but still shes waiting for trial in iraq and shes going to face. The childe the child should have a normal life and the grandfather agreed to get his. Children the child back and the things going on this is the first time for example this is the first time this happened weve heard so much about europeans and people from all over the world going to i asked territory to fight theyve been radicalized and there are concerns about them coming back but this issue of the children the children theyve had a wall there in iowa territory that has been completely under reported this is the first case that im aware of your child who was born and i asked territory was brought back to europe we heard in that report people raising security concerns someone said these kids could be ticking time bombs out for a kid whos two or three that doesnt seem like such an issue but certainly you can imagine that with a. Teenager they might be a little less likely to want to take them back absolutely this is the discussion that had been existing already now after the reports. About what kind of of age of children we are talking about are we talking about fourteen months or nine or ten years old yeah this is the critical point between that and this i think in the end of the day use the children taint eighty years tool to the next generation to create in the next fighters and they are full of that thats why to be careful to talk about that. Not not to talk not to for some problems to get children two years and down or three and less get a normal life because if they go to stay in the prison you are going to create a new new monsters yeah a new generation of scientists spiders thats a mere miss hour he was involved in reporting that story you just saw about the children of i asked fighters being returned thank you so much thank you for. Youre watching dude everyone is why from berlin still to come on our program emotions boil over a new sentencing hearing for this crazy us sports doctor larry nasser thats the father of three abused women being tackled after hell one just at the doctor who abused his job.

For the companys new headquarters in seattle founder jeff bezos said the alexa Voice Assistant had well exceeded expectations. Ok jeff. Meanwhile google parent alphabet said its profits would have been up but it chose to pay a one time charge of almost ten billion dollars to bring cash back to the u. S.
